broke my sage tip today need advice

[SpyderTex]

Dropped sage today and broke tip. Not horrible but pointy end is gone. Will spyderco reshape the tip for me if I send it in? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

 

[theamazingdrew]

yes they regrind tips for 5-10$

Damn crappy Taiwanese knives!!! Jk

If you have the 204 diamond rods for the sharpmaker you can regrind the tip yourself.
How about a pic. How did you break the tip?

 

[SpyderTex]

I dropped it straight down onto tile. Basically chipped the tip off

 

[freedoom]

maybe get a Krein regrind instead of sending to spyderco?

I wouldn't recommend that. As agressive as those diamond rods are it's still going to take an hour or two.

Better off grabbing a XC DMT stone, sending it in to Spyderco, or sending it to one of the sharpening guys (knifenut, richard j) to regrind.

if it is less than a 1/16" off i think that it will be covered in the free sharpening, you just need to send in $5 for return shipping. call them and ask but they will tell you to send it in.

Please snap a picture of the tip and post it if possible.

The blades are made in the USA!!

The steel is made in the US. The blades are made in Taiwan.

If you have a belt sander, you can take some metal off of the spine so that you don't waste your edge away just to get the tip back.

I personally think it should be covered by warrenty. You dropped it! That's not abuse in my book and I hope Sal and the gang help you our

I hope this is sarcasm?!

Do you wreck your car and expect Ford to cover it under their 3 year/36K mile warranty?

I did the same thing to my UKPK. I used the extra coarse stone from my Lansky kit and ground down the spine a little bit. Took about 5-10 min. Easy!

+1

or possibly a joke?

Dropping a knife shouldn't break the tip, thats a pretty fragile knife!

Dropping almost any knife within the specs of the Sage will break the tip. Mostly depends on angle and height too. Do you own a Sage?

 

[softrockrenegade]

No it's not sarcasim at all!!! He
didn't
pry open a car
door
with his 100 + dollar knife !!! He accedently dropped it like we all have our blades!!! Now we havnt seen a pic yet, but if More then just the very splinter picken tip (first 1/16 of the tip) there is a problem with brittleness !!! I'm sorry but the first 1/8 of the tip of an extremely overpriced tiawanese knife should not snap off with a simple drop!! Ib droped knives hundreds of times with no issue !!!! Spyderco should fix it!!

Tip breakage in a fall could indicate excessively hard steel.
